What do Muslim men's parents tell them when they are little? If you look around, it doesn't seem like they have been getting the same message as other kids.

To be fair, non-Moslem men sometimes kill women (and kids) when the women break up with or divorce them.
The forced homosexuality written about in the koran is the key reason they have no feelings toward their women. Cover them up and you won’t be intrigued to learn what or who they are. How did Yassar Arafat die?
Christ-like attitudes and behavior?
History shows us the roots of chivalry.
It is entirely a Western European, Christian phenomenon.
It was not shared in Muslim culture, which is governed by the Korean and it's patent repression of women.
Here, see what the Catholic encyclopedia has to say:
"In the ceremonial of conferring knighthood the Church shared, through the blessing of the sword, and by the virtue of this blessing chivalry assumed a religious character. In early Christianity, although Tertullian's teaching that Christianity and the profession of arms were incompatible was condemned as heretical, the military career was regarded with little favour. In chivalry, religion and the profession of arms were reconciled. This change in attitude on the part of the Church dates, according to some, from the Crusades, when Christian armies were for the first time devoted to a sacred purpose. Even prior to the Crusades, however, an anticipation of this attitude is found in the custom called the "Truce of God". It was then that the clergy seized upon the opportunity offered by these truces to exact from the rough warriors of feudal times a religious vow to use their weapons chiefly for the protection of the weak and defenseless, especially women and orphans, and of churches. Chivalry, in the new sense, rested on a vow; it was this vow which dignified the soldier, elevated him in his own esteem, and raised him almost to the level of the monk in medieval society. As if in return for this vow, the Church ordained a special blessing for the knight in the ceremony called in the Pontificale Romanum, "Benedictio novi militis." At first very simple in its form, this ritual gradually developed into an elaborate ceremony. Before the blessing of the sword on the altar, many preliminaries were required of the aspirant, such as confession, a vigil of prayer, fasting, a symbolical bath, and investiture with a white robe, for the purpose of impressing on the candidate the purity of soul with which he was to enter upon such a noble career. Kneeling, in the presence of the clergy, he pronounced the solemn vow of chivalry, at the same time often renewing the baptismal vow; the one chosen as godfather then struck him lightly on the neck with a sword (the dubbing) in the name of God and St. George, the patron of chivalry."
You have been to the middle east? ;-)
Excellent column, Marylou!
Yep, the bigger difference is the reaction of their respective communities, outrage and a call for justice, verses the notion that justice has been served.
I agree.
They’re unwittingly in bondage to Satan.
“Ewe Harmony” ... love it ... LOL
Me too! When Bean Counter posted it I grabbed it. I knew it would come in handy someday. LOL
They are alive when they should be dead.
You are correct sir, and they will share his eternal fate. They will have a whole eternity to regret the choice they made.
Why was the farmer's ram so depressed? He heard the farmer's radio playing: "There will never be another ewe".
